    Eğlenceli, düşünceli, önceden özen ve ilhamla yapılmış ara sahneleriyle bireysel alanlarında orijinal bir şey sunmasa bile, Ember Lab'ın ilk eseri olduğunu düşünürsek, puanım 10/8.

    The game is 'almost there': it has a very good narrative, memorable characters, and exceptional animation, but they are mixed with repetitive puzzles and battles, which are fine, but also get annoying very fast.

    Kena: Bridge of Spirits me ha encantado. Eso es verdad. Pero es MUY corto. Vamos a analizarlo para ver más en profundidad todo.

    Kena: Bridge of Spirits es un juego muy bueno. Tiene un mundo interesante, una historia con momentos que pueden hacer llorar a más de uno, un sistema de combate increíble, secciones de plataformeo que si bien no son la gran cosa están bien... Podría estar mucho tiempo diciendo todo lo bueno que tiene el juego. Pero luego ves el precio (40€) y la duración (en mi caso 11,5 horas) y puede no merecer la pena. Pero a mi parecer, si los merece.

    El sistema de combate es genial. Haciendo una especie de Souls-like, el juego tiene muchos combates contra enemigos de todo tipo, pero la joya de la corona se la llevan los jefes. Son sin ninguna duda lo que más me ha gustado de todo el juego. Los primeros intentos son para aprender el moveset del jefe, ver cómo esquivarlo y averiguar sus puntos débiles. A partir de ahí, a derrotarlo. Además, todo el juego (sobre todo en los jefes) muestra una dificultad bastante desafiante en todo el juego, por lo que completar un combate muy difícil es muy satisfactorio.

    Al combate se le suman los rots, unas criaturas que dan nuevas habilidades al combate. No se quedan muy lejos de ser lo mejor del juego. Tienen muchísimos usos en combate, desde recoger plantas de curación hasta hacer ataques más fuertes, y todos muy útiles. Pero lo que más me ha gustado es que son un coleccionable. Si bien el juego cada cierto tiempo te da unos cuantos para que puedas progresar en las técnicas de Kena, tú eres el responsable de ver cuando las consigues, cosa que me ha encantado.

    Otra cosa que quiero destacar es el mapa. Si bien no es un mapa lleno de NPCs y cosas por hacer, es bastante bueno, ofreciendo coleccionables y algunos secretos esparcidos por todo el mundo.

    Visualmente, puede ser uno de los juegos más bonitos que he jugado. Los gráficos son increíbles y en algunas cinemáticas puede parecer que estemos en una película de animación. Aunque in game también son muy bonitos. Tiene un estilo artístico muy bueno y un diseño de enemigos/jefes espectacular. El soundtrack es (como dijo en Titan Souls) "hacer un BotW", pero a Kena le funciona.

    Y la historia me ha gustado bastante. Si bien no me ha enganchado, si que tiene muchos momentos que impactan y también se subdivide en historias más pequeñas relacionadas con los espíritus a los que ayudamos que están bastante bien.

    Kena: Bridge of Spirits me ha gustado muchísimo, aunque entiendo que sea muy caro para algunos por lo que ofrece. Recomendadísimo    … Expand

    Graphics and art style were amazing and sometimes i just wanted to keep watching cut-scenes. Gameplay was decent and i think they shouldn't hide the useful abilities for too long. Boss fights were brilliant. They made my life harder most of the time but I kept going with recommended difficulty. Story was good but I wanted to care about the characters more but they weren't detailed enough.Graphics and art style were amazing and sometimes i just wanted to keep watching cut-scenes.

    The animation is very fluid and spectacular to look at, even on low graphics it doesn't look bad.

    It's a full-fledged dark souls game, so the fights are hard but they are fun, besides having a difficulty selector for those who don't want to break their backs so much (even the easy mode is not so easy haha)

    I read somewhere that the combat was repetitive and you didn't have a lot of movement repertoire, which is weird because in reality you have many ways to face a combat and a skill tree that makes everything more dynamic, I don't understand what they meant by repetitive.

    The map is linear but also lets you explore at your leisure, it is semi open world and there are unlockables that can be very useful if you are curious enough.

    The story is pretty simple but the game is unpretentious and doesn't pretend to be, so it delivers pretty well. Perhaps my only negative point would be that I feel that there are several loose ends that should have been answered.

    Anyway, I recommend 100% this game, it deserves it. It doesn't need a sequel either but I wouldn't mind having one haha.    … Expand

The game's Pixar-style graphics are simply breathtaking, and the attention to detail in every aspect of the game is truly remarkable. From the lush landscapes to the detailed character designs, Kena is a feast for the eyes.

    The combat mechanisms in "Kena" are a bit of a mixed bag. At first, the combat can feel a bit boring and repetitive, but as you progress through the game, it becomes more challenging and engaging. You need to use a variety of abilities in order to defeat the game's bosses, and this adds an extra layer of depth to the combat. However, the combat does have its flaws, and it can be frustrating at times.

    The story and characters in Kena are where the game falls short. While the game's world is beautifully realized, the story and characters are not engaging and have the same concept. The game tries to create a deep, emotional narrative, but it falls short. The characters are not fleshed out enough, and their motivations and backstories are not explored in enough detail. As a result, the story can feel flat and uninteresting.

    Despite its flaws, Kena is still a game worth playing. The game's stunning visuals and challenging combat mechanics make it a worthwhile experience. If you are a fan of action-adventure games with beautiful graphics, then Kena is definitely worth checking out. However, if you are looking for a game with a deep, engaging story and characters, then you may be disappointed.    … Expand

    Игра настолько красивая что влюбляет в себя буквально с первых минут. Ты как будто играешь внутри мульфильма от дисней/пиксар. Однако есть моменты которые не позволяют поставить здесь 10/10, во первых это сюжет никак не цепляет, во вторых боевка довольно унылая, каких то комбинаций тут нету и все враги в основном тупо закликиваются.

    At first glance, Kena Bridge of Spirits looks like brand new Disney movie.
    But no. It's a beautiful game with great graphics and art with simple and pretty nice story but it should be more extended, there are some plot holes. The world maybe looks blank and lifeless but there are only spirits lingering here besides Kena so, what's the big deal?

    This was a great start from a studio who are just now dipping their toes in the water making video games. I dont know any other way to describe it other than it feels like you are playing a Pixar movie, and it is an incredible display of the PS5's power. Combat feels very God of War meets Horizon Zero Dawn in the best way possible. I highly recommend it.

    Прекрасная игра, при всей своей красочности и няшности, это своеобразный Demon’s Souls на минималках. От боссов иногда пригорает не по детски. Геймплей в игре просто супер, управление гнилушками, не сложные головоломки, боёвка, всё сделано на высшем уровне. Из минусов в игре фактически нет сюжета, вернее он есть, ну он настолько скучный и безликий, что не цепляет от слова, совсем.

    Gameplay, atmosphere, music, world, exploration and even the graphics in this game are absolutely amazing. The story and characters a bit simplistic and nothing special, but considering this game contains a world with tons of enemies and secrets to discover its well worth it. I recommend anyone to play this game.

    Amazing visuals and animation. The game is lots of fun and has a good sense of evolution and change in environments. It would only make it better to have more combat abilities, but still pretty enjoyable experience overall! I only wish more complicated puzzles and combat had been introduced way earlier in the game storyline.

    Fantastic scenery, story, details, and especially characters. However, the bosses and enemies weren't designed as they should be. It was like copying the concepts of a boss and pasting them on another boss, not creative enough. Other than the enemies, the game was perfect.

    The strongest feeling I got from Kena: Bridge of Spirits is that it is "eclectic". It extracts the folk culture and religious culture, and then injects them into the Disney-like art style, creating a wonderful chemical reaction that is shocking enough.

    From the very first moment till the very end of your journey, Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a heart-warming experience and a real pleasure between the visuals, puzzles and combat. Atmospheric music, beautiful lively graphics, believable heroes and cute little Rots - each little element is woven into the amazing whole that is the gaming experience provided by Kena.

    Kena: Bridge of Spirits is "to the point": visually it's a feast for the eyes and with an interesting percussion-based musical score. It's fun, thoughtful, made with care and inspiration, even if it doesn't offer anything original in its individual areas. Especially considering that this is Ember Lab's first effort, the future is bright, and we can already imagine an even better sequel.
